So fucking savage.
I thought I’d got him, pulled him back from the edge of pain, but as he approached climax his eyes turned dull again.
I felt him leaving me, disappearing back inside his hurt.
He got up without speaking, pulled his clothes on.
“Don’t come here again,” he said. “Ever.”
“Callum...” I started, but his eyes stopped me dead in my tracks.
“Ever, Sophie. I never want to fucking see you again.”
He called Casey, and she followed reluctantly, looking back at me with sad eyes. It jolted me into action and I jumped to my feet.
“Please, Callum, please don’t do this.”
“It’s done. You don’t love me.”
“Yes, I do!” He didn’t answer, just fastened his jeans. My hands were in my rancid hair, struggling for words. “What about Casey?” I hissed. “Please!”
“What about her?” he spat.
“She’s not a stray anymore, Callum, she’s an indoor dog now. She loves cuddles on the sofa, and a warm bed, and proper food every night.”
“Don’t we fucking all.”
“Please,” I begged. “Please let me take her.”
He seemed to consider it, but again the shutters came down hard, eyes full of pain. “NO!” he boomed. “She’s all I’ve fucking got!”
I covered my face with my hands as he stormed away, just to hide the tears.
His next words came with a crack of emotion, his voice wavering for just a moment.
“You’ve ripped my fucking heart out, Sophie! Ripped it fucking out!”
And mine.
I’d ripped mine out too.

Callum
I was lost. Casey was edgy, lagging behind and whining all the time I circled the block. Just walking. Walking to nowhere.
I should’ve known, right from the beginning. Should’ve known a loser like me wasn’t good enough for someone like her.
I don’t know how I ended up at Vick’s. I was at her door before I realised it, hammering so hard I nearly broke the fucker. She came to the door in her dressing gown, peering out through the crack.
“Jesus, it’s you!” she screeched. “You scared me, thought it was the bloody Stoneys coming for me.” She flung the door open wide.
“You were right, Vick. She weren’t real, weren’t serious.”
“Shit, Cal.” She pulled me into a hug and I didn’t fight her. “Fucking hell, that’s shit, babe. I’m sorry.”
“Ain’t your fault,” I rasped. “You warned me.”
